Day 60
Sugar's vulva is now 5-10% of its maximum size, the changes seem to
happen in a non linear way, nothing seems to happen for a week and
then a big reduction in size almost overnight.
She seems to have almost finished shedding her summer coat, I am
combing out less day by day, she was a bit skimpy in the fur
department anyway but she had no bald patches.
She has become livelier than she was prior to the implant and is now
enjoying a good wrestle everday with Suki. Her appetite seems to have
improved but that may be just stoking up for the colder weather.
Tony.
